Wrongly Accused

Channel: CBS Justice (DStv 170 / StarSat 222)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: True Crime, Documentary Series

Wrongly Accused

Investigative reporter Louise Shorter revisits some of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British criminal history.

These are cases where lives were destroyed when individuals were wrongly accused of murders they did not commit.

During the series, Shorter meets the wrongly accused, family members and those close to the case.

Throughout the series, the first hour will examine the original investigation which led to the innocent being accused.

The second hour investigates the evidence that eventually caught the real murderer - looking at the mistakes made and the consequences of a killer walking free.

In doing so she reveals the tipping point moments when justice failed and how the wrongs of the law were eventually righted to put the real killer behind bars.

There's a fine line between justice and injustice - hear both sides in this true crime series.

In the series premiere, "Barri White Part 1": In Dec 2000, 21-year-old Barri was sentenced to life in prison for murdering his girlfriend.

His time in jail saw him beaten and succumbing to a devastating drug addiction.
 

Date My Family 11

Channel: Mzansi Magic (DStv 161)
TX Time: 18h00
Genre: Dating Game Show, Reality

Date My Family 11

Dating game show in which singles who are looking for love are sent on dates with the families of three potential partners, and must decide who to date based solely on the impression their family gives.

Forget about the "two people meet each other" typical love story. It's now a full-on family affair.

In each episode, audiences are introduced to a bachelor/bachelorette who's looking for love.

That singleton is then sent on three dates – to meet the families of three potential partners.

The twist in the tale?

The bachelor/bachelorette must choose just one potential partner who they think they'll hit it off with – based solely on what the families say and do.

But will they make the right choice?

The three potential partners are kept out of sight, watching the action unfold onscreen, as the bachelor/bachelorette engages with their respective family.

They secretly hope that their families paint them in the best possible light and make a good first impression.

With no communication at all between the bachelor/bachelorette and the potential partners, the scene is set for an unforgettable final date.

Expect laughs and drama as Cupid gets a helping hand from brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, moms, dads, nieces, nephews, cousins and of course, grandparents.

At the end the day, the question remains: will it love at first hello - or a fast goodbye?

In the Season 11 premiere: We meet 28-year-old Thabang Mothajana from Bloemfontein.

Thabang enjoys going out and playing soccer and his ideal partner needs to be compatible with him.
